The Confederación Patronal de la
República Mexicana (COPARMEX) (Employers Confederation of the Mexican Republic),
Chilpancingo delegation, said that at least 100 business owners have requested
permission to bear arms at the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA),
due to the serious problem of violence facing the state of Guerrero and
denounced that in the state, there are five criminal groups that threaten the
safety of the people.

The president of COPARMEX in Chilpancingo, Adrián Alarcón Ríos, said that of
the hundred requests, at least “half” have already been authorized and the
business owners will have permission to bear arms for the protection of their physical
integrity and of the establishments where they work.

Alarcón Ríos said that there are at least twice as many people “who are seeking
to acquire a weapon illegally on the black market.”

In late January, during a meeting with the Secretary General of Government of the State of Guerrero, Florencio
Salazar Adame, the president of COPARMEX explained that 35 workers from seven
businesses in Chilpancingo had already had permits to bear arms within the
framework of the law, faced with the problem of insecurity that the three
levels of government have failed to resolve.

Faced with the problem of
insecurity that persists in Chilpancingo, where just last Saturday, four
executions occurred in different parts of the city, Alarcón Ríos referred to
the local press that the request of union members to carry weapons “has
increased gradually”, based on individual responsibility and legal requirements
of the Federal Law on Firearms and Explosives of the SEDENA.

When asked about the increase in
applications, he said that there are about 100 business owners who maintain a requirement
process before the SEDENA, although he added that there are people “that they
do the process on their own account, as there are those who dare to bring the
gun into their own vehicles or near their belongings with the danger that this
represents.”

He reiterated that of the 100 applications,
at least “half” already have a permit and have been “generously” supported by
the president of the private security company Jobamex, Joaquín Badillo
Escamilla, faced with training in case
of any type of incident.

The leader explained that
pressure continues from some members to form a security and justice committee
with the National Security Council and the organization system S.O.S. Mexico,
which combats crime and impunity, as they call for detonating the local
economy.

He argued that faced with the
violent events in Chilpancingo, where based on a count by the newspaper El Sur,
there have been 102 executions by organized crime so far this year, business
owners live in anxiety “because of organized crime, common crime, and a third
front that could be the police by being accomplices of criminals or be in collusion
with them.”

He stressed that there is no “will”
of the three levels of government to counter violence, and therefore there are “twice
as many people” that with their own ways, “seek ways to acquire a weapon.”

The Chilpancingo COPARMEX noted
that crime has managed to get little results from the small amount of police
presence that exists in Chilpancingo.

The employers’ leader said that
the problem is being paid to forces that “are neither trained or have the
slightest intention of safeguarding public safety,” he said.

Adrián Alarcón also spoke of
business owners who have had to leave Guerrero because of the insecurity in the
state.

Violence Rages

On Friday, 18 murders occurred in
the state, six in Iguala, five in Acapulco, four in Chilapa, two in Tixtla, and
one in Buenavista de Cuellar.

Last Saturday, the Secretariat of Public Security of the state of Guerrero, Pedro Almazán
Cervantes, said that the violence in the state is a product of the struggle
between organized crime groups such as Los Rojos, Los Ardillos, Jalisco New
Generation Cartel, the Beltrán-Leyva Cartel, and others that have not been
identified.

Almazán Cervantes said that in
Iguala, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel has a high presence
and that the Guerreros Unidos continue to operate, “they are groups that are
dividing but nevertheless, the struggle between them continues and it’s
difficult to determine the murders that they commit.”

When asked about what groups are in dispute in Acapulco, he
said “it is the crown jewel and several groups dispute the city,” he said that
the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Guerrero carries out
investigations and the Ministry of Public Security carries out seizures and
forfeitures.Of the groups operating in
Acapulco he said that it’s “primarily” the Beltrán Leyva Cartel, the
Independent Cartel of Acapulco (CIDA), and its spin-offs.

On the return of the federal police after it left Guerrero before
the elections of June 5th, Almazán Cervantes said that there is no precise
date for when it will be reincorporated to the security activities in the state
because their disposals are “in movements that are occurring in other parts of
the country, mainly Oaxaca, Chiapas, the federal force goes where the main
problem is, we hope for them to be back soon.”

No need to ask permission from a corrupt state, but a corrupt state has given itself permission to do as it pleases, there is the choice to do the AUTODEFENSAS BLOCK BY BLOCK and take the turf back, only without propaganda, that is why they call it subversive activity...--The State has its own state sponsored autodefensas by the way, they are secret, powerful, murdering, not paid, must live off the ground, but they enjoy impunity in the best tradition of a terrorist terror sponsoring narco-state bla bla bla bla....

Pretty sad state of affairs.It's just going to be another autodefense group which is badly needed.Sucks that this is so much like the 16th or 17th century in this day and age.Can't send the army everywhere but sounds like there isn't 'hot spots' any more just spreading like a virus throughout the country.3 levels of police depts. can't fix what gives then?

The people will have to ally with the narcos just because they would appreciate an education for their children, and it would be FREE, COMPULSIVE, MANDATORY, OBLIGATORY AND ENFORCED for rich and poor, instead of having their kids grow up to be drug trafficking cannon foodder too...

I think it's a proper policing problem.Most countries [the US the exception] don't really arm themselves,the police take care of the problem.If these business's shut down or move that's less money from taxes in the Mexican coffers.I realize security and investigations cost money but isn't that what the Merida Initiative helps with so you don't have to spend all the money and can allot to something else.If these business's shut down that's lost revenue in the Mexican coffers.You are going to scare away foreign investment and even Mexican investment.It's certainly scared me away from doing business there as I was seriously considering it 2 years ago.

The money in the coffers don't get paid out to policeman . The crooks in the government steal it . I was told years ago that many of the street cops in acuna pay to get to be a cop from the proceeds of their theft . Don't know if that's true or not but they are thieving sons of bitches .

Yes, Americans and Mexicans can legally possess firearms in Mexico. As an American, you must first own a home in MX and have a Visa Temporal (good for four years) or a Visa Permanente (good for 10 years). Then you will have to become a member of one of the many local gun clubs. You can legally own up to 10 firearms-- high powered rifles (non semi-auto), .380, .32, .25, and .22 pistols (revolvers or semi-auto). Each year the gun club will obtain a Military Transportation Permit and hunting licenses for each member. The cost of all these fees, permits and licenses is about $300 per year. The regulations state you are authorized to transport and use your firearms for sporting purposes only and not for self-defense.

7;47-you are probably right on that 1,the money doesn't go to the right places.It all boils down to corruption.I had heard also the cops have to pay for their positions in DF even though they get paid on paper.Explains why they are always on the take.

Genny, changes to the Constitution only happens if the "presidente" asks for them, it is an old trick, and if a senator asks for a change it will only be because it is small, or somebody else is behind it...--the people has NO POWER TO CHANGE THE TOILET PAPER IN THE MEXICAN CONGRESS, MUCH LESS TO CHANGE THE CONSTIPATION...

The meshikin pepole do not have the "right to ask" for nothin' unless they are looking to be punched on the 🐽 snout and unos tablazos en las nalgas or both, or their choice of la chicharra en el horno, waterboarding or unos pinchis teguacanazos con chile piquin por payasos...

Revolution!!!!!!!! Its the moral thing to do. There is no oter way out. American government intervention is inevitable but I think the majority of the great American people the real Americans will stand by us. America just stay out of this we love you but we need you to hold your evil government back in this as we are going to have to rip this giant tick out. The revolution has come time to take out your gun....off the pigs

Damn . Not saying your wrong but . I posted a comment , thought I could get a "rise" outa some . Mine must have been considered to inflammatory . I shoulda went more the kill , blood and gore route . That's not what anybody needs . Its easy to sit back on your haunches and say lets fight it out . I see lots of fools call for bloody revolution . Luckily , so far there hadn't been enough people falling in behind fools . Lets hope it stays that way . Escalation isn't the answer . Consider a county the size of Mexico in the 21st century having a large scale civil war . It could last a long time and produce more cold hearted criminals than you could imagine . Lots of people calling for war really don't consider the consequences . As bad as it is a civil war could multiply it by hundreds and the mentality it would breed could radiate for years after it was over.

If the opposition has enough money for guns, ammo and the logistics then those things will make their way to Mexico. The only problem is convincing the big dog US government to stay on the porch. It will also be a hard sell to get the US from intervening because of the fear of the civil war spilling over the border. It can be done but will the opposition leaders be smart enough to organize and rally the people to their side.

Before that happens, the state guard needs to be put together and kick out the federales, but it starts with ge uine autodefensas, NOT SPONSORED BY THE STATE OR THE "MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY" IT STARTS WITH one cell and then multiply like a virus, but the government is always looking for those cells to neutralize them...your move...

I think the posts this week have been great , thanks to all ........Every one IS a narco story which permeates the fabric of everything in Mexico, fueling the violence, the corruption , the immunity, the poverty , the human rots abuses , the migrations, the slide of the whole society Etcetcetc.

Then there is the federal government delegates, military, poolice, poolitical, then the estatales the municipales, and the caciques, one state is not enough to support the hijos de la chingada all year long for years and years and years, now the cancer is eating itself...

Lol. Anyone who says a Mexican citizen can bear arms in Mexico 1. Is living in a fantasy world 2. Has never lived in a town up in the mountains far removed, hours, from any concept of public safety and 3. Is giving you Peña nieto lip service about what the Mexican constitution says. It may very well say one thing, but with a government as corrupt a that one, I'm here to tell you it doesn't matter what the fuck the constitution says, real life dictates otherwise. This is coming from someone who sold cattle in Zacatecas for awhile, where you acquire a firearm the way everyone else does for the same reason everyone else who is legit does, because from local cops all the way up, that's if they're even around because they go missing for days, are all on the side of the fucking cartels. You can't even report being the victim of a crime without having to go through some complex bullshit system, you go asking the government for permission for a firearm down there and see how that goes. Sitting on the American side in the luxury of public safety, and dealing with extortion and general shitbags on the Mexican side are two completely different things. "The Mexican constitution says" ha! Don't make me laugh with that bullshit.

Only robavacas sell cattle in the state of zacatecas, ahi only puros abigeos y narcos sell cattle, just to appear "legit", but you are right bro, the mexican Constitution is all full of bullshit, caca y popó...I used to steal chicken and pigs, in mexico, no troca to move anything bigger

The chinese have credible weapons, the Russians too, but the amerikkkan weapons dealers will not be unndersold..., you can even open lines of credit, they don't care, as long as they make some money too, the Germs want to help the mexican government too, more than they have been doing, and all of Europe is looking for friendly deals all over LatinAmerica, get yours early...

Well its the 4th of july in my neck of the woods and i do mean woods literally and the gunshots abound! I swear the guy behind me got a 50 cal and i know several who have semi and automatic weapons! Not many fireworks just gunshots! My point is that mexicos citizens need to arm themselves like these hillbillies up here in the north georgia mountains! They will kill u quick up here for tryin to creep up on them!

7:39 I apologize, I didn't realize, Fort Benning GA?--are they still making kaibiles there in the Schools of the Assassins for LatinAmerica??? Maybe it is now whiscom but use the same manuals methods and instructions?
